Abstract: A method for reproducing a color image. A dye image is formed on a photographic light-sensitive material by imagewisely exposing the material and processing to form a dye image. Through the imaged photographic light-sensitive material, an exposure is made on a photographic printing light-sensitive material which is processed in an alkaline activator solution to form a dye image thereon. The photographic light-sensitive material contains a transparent support provided thereon with red-sensitive, green-sensitive, and blue-sensitive silver halide emulsion layers. The layers each contain one of three different nondiffusible couplers capable of forming, by coupling, compounds having spectral absorption maximum wavelength in the wavelength region longer than 340 nm. The spectral absorption maximum wavelength of the compounds differ by at least 30 nm.
